Remote Work
We have taken many steps to adjust the way we work in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, including increased access to remote working solutions, more flexibility in work schedules, rotations between remote and office work, significantly reduced numbers within the office and greater attention given to ensure social distancing and other preventative measures.

Each project and each client environment has their own policies and work styles. We communicate closely with all of our clients to find the best solution possible in ensuring our employees' safety. Many are able to work fully remotely, and others are able to reduce the time spent in the office with a balance of remote and office work.

※ The remote system after COVID-19 is still under consideration.
